"I'm really sorry, I had no intentions of insulting you or your dreams. It's just that not every pony you run into talks about wanting to be an adventurer and even less are serious about it. To me, those kind of ponies are the real insult to adventurers. And at first, I thought you were all talk. The last thing I expected was for you to be serious about it like me." Clay said quickly, almost rushed, as he wanted to get it all out. His whole body tensed up as he fought every urge to run away.

"Yeah, because you're the only one that can be serious when talking about adventuring." Daring said, slightly gritting her teeth. "You have quite the way of apologizing, maybe you should stop while you're ahead."

OOC: I know when I'm beat Put your tail between your knees and waddle off Clay... Waddle off. BIC: Clay nodded, not saying another word. He turned and left, not running, but certainly with a pep in his step to get out of there. Cloud sighed, but it was hardly noticeable. It was more like a deep breath/yawn. And Dex said in quiet anticipation. Things always got tense when the colt came along and he wasn't too pleased to see the mode die again.

ooc: There is suppose to be tension between Daring and Clay, so I'm still working off that. And I don't know what you were expecting. Daring pulled her book back out from behind her and opened it again, reading with a bit more determination now. The rest of the girls went back to doing what they were doing.

OOC: Nothing I went into that with no expectations. That wasn't a little tension, though, it was deep rooted seething hatred. At least by my standards. I'm a conflict avoider, though, so any small degree of negative emotion could be a really big thing in my book. BIC: Cloud too went on with his reading, though this was one more thing on his mind. Dex gave a more audible sigh and went back to taking notes in his little book, though at a much slower pace now.

ooc: Show we're moving on from this now? What are your plans for Clay?

OOC: I've got nothing planned I suppose we can move on. I can at least say Clay is persistent. He'll try again tomorrow.

ooc: Alright, so I've got nothing planned either. So do we move on tomorrow or the night? I've got something I can do on Wednesday and Thursday is the rp, so where do you want to go?

OOC: Let's move on to tonight. I'll post for each of my guys before they go to bed as a bit of foreshadowing. You can post first for your girls.

The three friends were in Ever's room as they finished up for the night. "And he's like right out of a book." Tor told Ever and Mith. "Handsome and strong, but shy and sweet." "I believe you already said that." Ever told Tor. "Aren't you getting a bit carried away Tor?" "What do you mean?" Tor asked. "Isn't it natural for girls to swoon over a great guy that asked her out?" "I, wouldn't know." Ever said. "It fine." Mith interrupted. "But you have to keep your head on straight. Nopony is perfect and you're just seeing what you like about him, you don't know his faults yet." "Come on, Mith!" Tor said. "I know that, I'm not a total airhead. I'm just enjoying the moment. I mean, it's kind of magical, in a way."
Daring wasn't in her room, but siting in the school library next to a pile of books. She got permission to use the library just before it closed and promised to lock up when she was done.

Cloud was watering his little plant by his bed. The same flowers he'd brought back from the camping trip. It seemed Cloud had a bit of a green thumb, as the plant was actually thriving in it's little brown pot. A third flower had started growing alongside the first two. After it was watered, he turned to his room which was organized chaos to say the least. His bed was completely covered in books of all sizes, opened to seemingly random pages. On his desk was a tome almost the size of the desk. He probably didn't have a bag big enough to hold the thing it was so thick and wide. Cloud would hoof through a few pages of each book before turning to the tome. The pages were blank and he would pick up his quill to start writing in it, but would stop before he even started, put the quill down, and return to the books on his bed. He looked really tired, but given this pattern, he wasn't planning on sleeping anytime soon.
Dex was a little better off then Cloud, working on his notebook as he laid in bed. There were notes about the story they were doing and scribbles of a dnd nature all over the place. In the center was "Ask?" In large letters with a large scribbley underline. He played with the pencil in his mouth as his thoughts raced on this and that.
Clay was pacing back and forth. He always did his best thinking while moving around. His horn glowed and he stepped up on his bed and started scaling the wall, stopping when he was upside down and rubbing his head. He stopped his spell and plopped right onto his back on his bed as he continued thinking. He would roll out of bed and repeat this process every now and then between pacing. All his thoughts were on how to really apologize to Daring. He'd not been this focused on a non-adventuring topic before today, but he was so focused he actually didn't notice.

The next day the school announced that Thursday and Friday would be off, just as Daring told them. After school Daring was the first under the tree, fast asleep.

Cloud walked up and saw Daring sleeping. He liked to see her relaxing and quietly sat down beside her and got out a book to start reading. Dex was talking with the professor and would likely not be with the group till after the girls showed up.

The girls was also late, having gone to their dorms first. So it was only Cloud and Daring while Daring slept soundly.

Dex showed up while the girls were still out. He saw Daring sleeping and gestured to her. Cloud just shook his head and went back to reading. Dex took the hint and quietly sat on the other side of Cloud as he waited for the girls to show up. Surely they'd wake Daring up.

ooc: Now I'm just going to be stubborn. The girls were on their way, but didn't show up yet and Daring was still sleeping.

OOC: I just wanted to make sure you wanted her woken up first Now I'm going to be mean. Stray football?.... Nah, I'll just wake her up. BIC: Cloud looked down and closed his book. He'd finished it and was now bored. He rolled it up and popped it lightly on Daring's head, "Hey, sleepy head. Wake up already." He said and prepared to pop her again if she didn't wake up.

"Huh! What!?" Daring said as she woke with a start and immediately put a hoof against her head. "Did I fall asleep again? This is turning out to be the worst day."

"Why, what's eating you? You've been napping for over an hour. The girls aren't here yet though." Cloud said, catching the once sleeping filly on the riveting adventure they had while she was asleep.

"I stayed up researching the town at the library." Daring said. "I was late for class this morning because I lost track of time and was still reading through books before I noticed ponies started coming into the library."

"Alright, this is becoming a little ridiculous." Cloud said, "It's not healthy for you to be staying up all night. Am I going to have to babysit you till you stop obsessing over this adventuring thing?" Cloud said rather seriously. Dex just whistled to himself as he tried to ignore everything.

"I didn't mean to stay up all night." Daring said. "I'm too tired to argue with you, but there has to be something around here that could use exploring, real exploring." "Hey everypony!" Tornado greeted them. "Sorry we're late." Ever and Mith also greeted them as they picked spots under the tree.

"Hey Mith, Ever, and Tor. Perhaps you three can talk some sense into Daring. She just stayed up all night at the library, was late to class from that, and slept for just over an hour, at least from when I got here." Cloud said, hoping they'd have more luck. Dex waved hello to the girls, happy with just his greeting for now.

"It's the first time it has ever happened." Daring said in her defense. "Even I know it's important to get enough rest." Tor told Daring. "I think we should have another training session tomorrow morning. That should give you back some pep."

"You're answer to everything is more training, isn't it Tor." Dex said playfully with a laugh. "She said she wants to go on an adventure. She's been reading all about the town for two days now. I'm not sure how a training session is going to help." Cloud said a little unsure.

"Well, training is good for you." Tor said sticking out her tongue with a smile. "And it would help clear her head, at least it always helps clear mine."

"Alright, and Daring? You're being awfully quiet about this." Cloud said, turning his attention to her.

Daring was quiet about it because she had once again fallen asleep. "That Clay character surely got her worked up about all this, didn't he?" Ever said. "I wish we could help, but Manehattan is a very modern city." Mith said. "There just isn't any exiting places for an adventure here."

"Hmm... What if we fake an adventure?" Cloud said as he was thinking it, "It's not like she's going to get her adventure fix any other way."

"I think that would make her feel even worse." Tor said. "Maybe it's better if she just works through this. I mean, this is what she wants to do with her life after all."
